Posted By: 74SkiNautique Subject: Filler neck gorunded? Date Posted: August-23-2008 at 11:54pm I took my tank out to replace all of my exhaust hoses. I found a small yellow wire stuck in the filler neck hose. Does my filler neck need to be grounded to the tank? ------------- 74SkiNautique Replies: Posted By: DrCC Date Posted: August-24-2008 at 3:28am Yes Posted By: eric lavine Date Posted: August-24-2008 at 11:23am its there for a reason, i would probably say for static spark when filling the boat ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" Posted By: 74SkiNautique Date Posted: August-24-2008 at 2:48pm Thats what my dad said. So we will run a new wire to the ground for the tank, this way, we cant die out on the lake! ------------- 74SkiNautique Posted By: MdFooter Date Posted: August-28-2008 at 1:47am It wouldn't happen out on the lake, it would happen when you refuel. Same reason why aircraft are grounded three ways during refueling operations. BL: cheap insurance to run a new wire. ------------- KP 1st http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2723&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985" rel="nofollow - 85 Nautique 2nd Posted By: eric lavine Date Posted: August-28-2008 at 4:47pm good insurance if you dont!! ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" Posted By: 74SkiNautique Date Posted: August-28-2008 at 11:09pm Yea, when i install the tank tomorrow, ill run a wire over to the ground of the tank. I have to redrill my filler neck holes anyway, so one will have a nut on the end where i can put it! ------------- 74SkiNautique
